Two Lovely Chicago Snake stories.

Judge Grant Goodrich said that in August,
1854, he killed a fat rattlesnake in the swamp
just south OF town. It had thirteen rattles and
a button. On cutting it open he found another
snake inside with twelve rattlOs aud button /;
cutting open No. he found a third snake with
eleven rattles aud button. He kept on cut
ting open the snakes he found the number
OF rattles decreasing by one each time. The
thirteenth had orc rattle and button, and
this snake contained forty-four baby snakes,
each with : button. The Judge would make
affidavit to this.
L. NJ. Hooley told of a whistling snake he
once had. "COol White caught him out on the
north prairie. He was a pretty little green
fellow about nine inches long, and he had yellow
eyes The way he whistled was by taking his
tail in his mouth and playing it like fageOlet,
for he had seven stops in his tail-One to every
note of the scale He whistled like a moclSing
bird, and taught him to initiate the tones of
the violin. lie could whistle several tunes

offered me $3.50 for him, but / wouldn't have
sold him for any money. He was the only
whistling snake l ever heard of except one
that WAS owned by a wholesale druggist in
Baltimore. i got very much attached TO that
snake, but our cat ate him one day. Always
after that that cat would turn pale and tTem-
bic at the sound of a flute OF fife, and in less
than q year she died of softening Of the brain"

little effect on the authorities. The ministers

little attention 90 thtir petitions, and handed
IN the result Of their work without providing

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: in reading
COmrade DOogan's letter / was reminded of
scenes at the beginning of the rebellion which
took place under my own observation. Our
regiment was well scattered, as was nearly
every regiment in the army, so that no great
force could be gathered at any place without
much delay. This was done for purpose, but
notwithstanding their scattered and isolated
condition the old Regulars were loyal to the
Constitution and the Union.
Brother Kelley was mistaken about Comrade
Doogan enlisting in the 9Th u. s. Cav. in 1853.
There was no 4th u. :. Cav. at that time. He
must mean the old LIST 4. ;. Cav, which was
changed TO the 9TH in the Spring of 1862. The
mounted troops in 1858 were the LIST and I'd
Dragons, one regiment Of mounted rifles and

How e OPened the Fight on the First Day at
Gettysburg.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In ono Of your
late issues G. w. Cook made the statement that
the 10Th n. Y opened the ball at Gettysburg on
July !. 1S63. i am provoked 10 see that Serg't
VIM. w. Schooley, Co. q, li3d Pa, should write
a contradiction 70 Cook'sstatements, which were
true. Now, 60 settle matters and give the eX-
act facts, will give COmrade SchoOley some
points, based as they are upon orders and the
records Of the battle.
"Forward-D0ubleq quick !" was the command
given. Down the hill toward the enemy the
column swept. The 10th \. V, being in the
advance, was Obliged to remove fences as they
led the army through fields, gardens and yards.
When within two miles Of town Gen. Cutler,
commanding our brigade-cOnsisting of the
10th n. Y, 18th y. Y. (BroOklyn1, 9Th Ind, Seth
Pa, 95th and l41th n. WAS ordered to make
an oblique movement TO the left across the
fields 20 the ridge near the Seminary, west OF
the town. where the enemy was already en-
gaging the cavalry forces undor Gen. John
Buford.
Gen. Cutler with three regiments-76th n.
Y, l47th N. Y. and seth Pa-immediately
formed his line Of battle. He had no sooner
formed than he was engaged by vastly supo-
riOr force OF the enemy advancing in two lines
at short range. This Was the first body Of Con-
federates seen by the Federals Orders were
given TO open fire, and FOR 80 minutes no body
of men ever withstoOd a more terrible shower
OF lead.
This position was held with n spirit and
bravery never excelled. until Gen. Wadsworth
ordered the command 20 fall back or the next
ridge. At the moment Of going into action the
10th n. Y. numbered 3iS men all told, and in
30 minutes lost 100 officers and men, lacking
but five of being half Of It's number. No other
regiment was engaged until We had received a
severe baptism of blood. Serg't SchOoley, l43d
Pa, had better post himself better upon facts
before making statements he cannot verify nor
substantiate.
